3D Mammography
The unfortunate statistic remains that 8 out of 10 women diagnosed with breast cancer have no family history, making effective screening and early detection critical. Annual mammograms continue to be the best tool for detecting breast cancer in women who are low risk and have no symptoms.

Mammography uses low dose x-ray to image breasts for early signs of breast cancer
Screening
Mammogram
Digital screening mammography can detect early breast cancer up to two years before it can be felt. The goal of mammography is early detection of breast cancer when cancers are small and most treatable. Research shows that annual mammograms lead to a lower risk of death in women ages 50 – 69. At Precision Imaging Centers, a referral is not needed by your physician for a screening mammogram.
Diagnostic
Mammogram
Diagnostic mammography is used either as a next step to a screening mammogram when an abnormality is identified, or to evaluate a patient with signs or symptoms such as lumps, nipple discharge, pain, dimpling or puckering in the skin.
